LIV Golf: Kevin Na FORCED OUT in Jeddah a week after posting horror pic

Kevin Na was forced to withdraw from LIV Golf Jeddah during the second round at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club.

The 39-year-old American looked visibly unwell with only eight holes to play in the shotgun start tournament by the Red Sea.

Na looked a tad unsteady on his feet after shaking hands with Bryson DeChambeau before we can only assume going to get some much-needed fluids in his system.

His withdrawal comes a week after posting one of the creepiest photos we have seen in quite some time as he tried to fight off his flu symptoms in Bangkok.

A picture surfaced of Na - who is the captain of the Iron Heads side - lying on the floor on a cot that was clearly far too small for him.

He was hooked up to some sort of machine and wrapped in blankets. It looked as if he was starring in some sort of horror movie.

I mean, what was actually going on here? Why was he on the floor?

Take a look here:

Na recovered and enough to play the final round in Thailand, carding a 1-over par 73 to finish in 26th place out of the 48-man field.

That tournament was won by Spain's Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra.

Jon Rahm turned heads after he congratulated the young Spaniard on his first career win a few months after turning professional.

As for Na, his withdrawal will mean that he heads into LIV's final event, in Miami at Trump Doral, off the back of some mixed results through seven LIV events.

His best finish in the controversial circuit came in Boston, where he finished T-9. Aside from that, he finished T-11 in Portland but has otherwise struggled.

He's probably earned some decent wedge though, we suggest.
